EDIPOZ

Which side of the plane to sit from Edinburgh Airport (Edinburgh) to Poznań-Ławica Airport (Poznan)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

Provides a premier view of the Edinburgh skyline at takeoff and the mesmerizing Wadden Sea islands during the mid-flight crossing into Europe.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏰

Edinburgh Castle

The historic fortress dominating the skyline, perched atop Castle Rock.

🌋

Arthur's Seat

The ancient volcano and highest point in Holyrood Park, offering a rugged green contrast to the city.

🏝️

Frisian Islands

The chain of barrier islands separated by tidal flats, part of the UNESCO-listed Wadden Sea.

🏙️

Northern German Plains

View of the flat, productive agricultural heartland and cities like Bremen or Hannover.

🌲

Western Polish Forests

Dense patches of pine forests typical of the Lubusz and Greater Poland regions.

⛪

Poznań Skyline

The colorful Old Town square and the spires of the Cathedral Island on final descent.

Choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Note that mid-day flights may experience direct sunlight on this side; morning or evening flights provide the best lighting for the Scottish hills and Polish plains.

Left Side Highlights

🌉

Forth Bridges

The iconic trio of bridges spanning the Firth of Forth, including the historic red Rail Bridge.

🐦

Bass Rock

A steep-sided volcanic rock in the outer Firth of Forth, home to a massive gannet colony.

🌬️

North Sea Wind Farms

Massive offshore wind installations visible as geometric patterns in the deep blue water.

🏖️

Dutch Northern Coast

The sandy edges of the Netherlands where the mainland meets the North Sea shallows.

🚢

Elbe River Estuary

The wide mouth of the Elbe leading toward the major port city of Hamburg.

💧

Odra River

The winding river marking the transition between the German and Polish landscapes.

Look out early for the Bridges; they appear within 2-3 minutes of an eastbound takeoff. Use a polarizing filter if photographing to cut through the North Sea haze.
